Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”Numerical optimization of silica-metal core-shell nanoresonator dimer geometries was realized to maximize the fluorescence of the NV and SiV diamond color centers. The configurations combine the advantages stemming from the elongation and reduced metal volume of hollow spheroids and the wide tunability and good antenna efficiency due to hybridization of composite modes on the core-shell dimers. The optimized coupled dimers sustain plasmonic modes that maximize the fluorescence by ensuring the simultaneous enhancement of excitation and emission. Asymmetry is advantageous in terms of good enhancement with a compromised corrected quantum efficiency. The directional fluorescence can be significantly increased in the optimized asymmetrically coupled dimer configurations.
